Well, my poor Brady just won't even go near his bowl...I have requested more than half a dozen samples of various things and will talk to the vet tomorrow but this is just going on too long. He has sooo much eye goo and he is a little lacking in energy and just seems sad when I put his bowl down. He needs some nutrician other than a few hand fed morsels and peanut butter that I occassionally get to him. So I bought an unflavored rot. chicken tonight, some brown rice, tuna, some low sodium broth (hoping to also make the kibble taste better to him) and some non-gaseous veggies. Until I can find something he likes, I will have to supplement with homecooked (or home-microwaved in my case as we have no kitchen due to renovations), but I have NO IDEA what constitutes a portion when feeding like this. We have always added in little bits here and there as a supplement to their food, but how much when this is the main source of their diet? Should I figure about 2/4 cups worth when blended as his usual kibble portion is about 3/4 of a cup?
I gave him some chicken before and he was wild for it...so at least I know he has his appetite. This won't be a long term feeding method as I know he won't get all the nutrician he needs from it (i know raw is better), I just need a temporary fix to get him through a few days. Just from the one serving so far of chicken, he already seems more upbeat and happy. And of course, Abby is loving the scrapes I am giving her...I hate to have her smelling this great food and not get any!
